Therefore, often refresh requests person the 30, the 1st concentrate refresh requests person the 40, the 2nd to concentrate refresh requests person 41 to be issued all be 8197 times in refreshing during 64m second, satisfy required refreshing frequency.
At this moment, when considering the occupied bandwidth corresponding with external memory storage 10, under the 1st requestor 20 and the 2nd requestor 21 are in situation between active period, often refresh requests person 30 occupies 1.3MHz, the 1st requestor 20 occupies 40MHz, the 2nd requestor 21 occupies 20MHz, so the occupied bandwidth corresponding with described external memory storage 10 is 61.3MHz.
When the 1st requestor 20 is between active period, the 2nd requestor 21 is under the situation of interregnum, often refresh requests person 30 occupies 1.3MHz, the 1st requestor 20 occupies 40MHz, the 2nd requestor 21 occupies 10MHz, the 2nd concentrates refresh requests person 41 to occupy 10MHz, so the occupied bandwidth corresponding with described external memory storage 10 is 61.3MHz.
When the 1st requestor 20 is in interregnum, the 2nd requestor 21 is under the situation between active period, often refresh requests person 30 occupies 1.3MHz, the 1st requestor 20 occupies 35MHz, the 1st concentrates refresh requests person 40 to occupy 5MHz, the 2nd requestor 21 occupies 20MHz, so the occupied bandwidth corresponding with described external memory storage 10 is 61.3MHz.
When the 1st requestor 20 and the 2nd requestor 21 are under the situation of interregnum, often refresh requests person 30 occupies 1.3MHz, the 1st requestor 20 occupies 35MHz, the 1st concentrates refresh requests person 40 to occupy 5MHz, the 2nd requestor 21 occupies 10MHz, the 2nd concentrates refresh requests person 41 to occupy 10MHz, so the occupied bandwidth corresponding with described external memory storage 10 is 61.3MHz.
Below, corresponding therewith, consideration is not used situation about refreshing of the present invention, situation about promptly only refreshing by described refresh requests person often 30 and is only concentrated refresh requests person 40 and the 2nd to concentrate the bandwidth that refreshes under the situation that refresh requests person 41 refreshes by the described the 1st in the storage control device 1000 of formation shown in Figure 1.
1) at first, shown in Figure 3 in the storage control device 1000 of formation shown in Figure 1, do not use based on the 1st and concentrate refresh requests person 40 and the 2nd to concentrate the situation of refresh requests person 41 refresh activity, promptly do not use the 1st, the 2nd these two concentrated refresh requests persons 40,41, and only carry out refresh activity under all situations about refreshing by refresh requests person 30 often.
In this case, often refresh requests person 30 need carry out during 64m second and refresh for 8192 times, therefore the bandwidth of occupying 2.56MHz.Therefore, when the 1st requestor 20 and the 2nd requestor 21 were between active period, total occupied bandwidth was 62.56MHz.
2) then, shown in Figure 4 in the storage control device 1000 of formation shown in Figure 1, only use the 1st to concentrate refresh requests person 40 and the 2nd to concentrate the bandwidth that refreshes under the situation that refresh requests person 41 refreshes.
In this case, the 1st to concentrate the summation of the refreshing frequency that refreshing frequency that refresh requests person 40 should issue at the 1st requestor's 20 interregnum and the 2nd concentrated refresh requests person 41 should issue at the 2nd requestor's 21 interregnum be 8192 times in second at 64m.
During empty during 64m second is 5.39m second, therefore the 1st concentrate refresh requests person 40 and the 2nd concentrate refresh requests person 41 need be during this 5.39m second in the refreshing of issue total 8192 times.Like this, when the 1st concentrates refresh requests person 40 and the 2nd to concentrate refresh requests person 41 all to be in interregnum the 1st concentrate refresh requests person 40 and the 2nd concentrate refresh requests person 41 refresh shared bandwidth and be 29.87MHz, be 74.87MHz after adding the 1st requestor 20 and the 2nd requestor's 21 bandwidth.
This need not concentrate refresh requests person 40 and the 2nd to concentrate refresh requests person 41 refresh activity and the bandwidth of the bigger 74.87MHz of total occupied bandwidth 62.56MHz when only carrying out all refreshing by refresh requests person 30 often than not using in the storage control device 1000 of formation shown in Figure 1 based on the 1st, method by the invention described above, in contrast to this, can dwindle bandwidth.
In addition, in present embodiment 1, the requestor who described access is mediated circuit issue memory access requests can be the image processing circuit that carries out Flame Image Process.
